Chapter 279: Hitting the Playoffs Twenty

The Timberwolves score the ball, and the Cavaliers can always find an opportunity to fight back.

Under the basket, Garnett singled Boozer with the ball, and Big Z next to him was also ready to help defend at any time.

However, Garnett, who got the ball in the low post, how can he say that he can defend with a bag?

That's where the technical flow players are the hardest to defend, no matter what type of defense they have, they can always find a way to break through the defense, or pass the ball, or attack with the ball themselves.

This does not face Boozer and Big Z defense, Garnett turns under the basket and shoots slightly backwards, which can also be said to be Garnett's nirvana. Although this move is also extremely ordinary, Garnett is not ordinary at all.

Garnett's height, plus his ape-like reach, and Garnett's shooting with some back, can't limit it even if the big z pounces past.

In other words, the only person who can defend Garnett may be himself and his age.

Holding the ball under the basket, turning around, the basketball fell steadily into the basket, and with a crisp sound of "shabu", the basketball went directly into the net.

On the Cavaliers' side, there is also Cao Jian, a player who has no solution.

Although Cao Jian did not have the physical talent of demons such as Garnett, his height and ape-like arm length, he still had no solution.

Lightning-fast speed, accurate three-pointers, ghostly breakaways, and his unrivaled ability to see through all defenses on the court and find the best shots. When encountering a bag, Cao Jian can also accurately deliver the ball to his teammates.

Besides. Cao Jian also has a big heart, and he can always step up to help the team when the team needs him most, or three points. Or break, or pass. No matter which one it is, Cao Jian can always deal a fatal blow to his opponent.

It was also after Garnett's side scored the ball that Cao Jian stepped forward again.

This time it's his inexplicable three-pointer.

Casal's arm was almost attached to Cao Jian's face, and he almost didn't hit hard, and his palm completely blocked Cao Jian's shooting vision, but this was useless, and his body rose to the highest point. Even if you don't look at the basket, when your shooting reaches a certain level, there is no difference between looking at the basket and not looking at the basket.

Feel. At this time, shooting is based on a feeling. The body's sense of the direction of the basket.

Although his vision was completely blocked by Casal, Cao Jian was still calm, and his body rose to the highest point. The brain doesn't have any commands. It's just a natural shooting action, with a slight wrist press.

When the basketball shot, Cao Jian's body slowly fell, and Casal, who was defending, also found that the corners of Cao Jian's mouth were raised in a high arc, and he looked extremely confident.

This smile.

Casal is no stranger, Cao Jian will have it after every shot, and after this smile appears, then the last ......

Then he saw. The basketball rolled and slashed out from Cao Jian's index fingertips, and the basketball swirled towards the basket. In the end, the basketball smashed directly into the basket, and with a crisp sound of "shabu", the basketball smashed directly into the basket.

Casal thinks he can do his best defensively, and he couldn't have done better.

Whether it's defensive movements, positioning, or anticipating in advance, he thinks this is already his limit.

However, this still could not limit Cao Jian. To be precise, Cao Jian is simply unlimited.

Before the game, he didn't care about the new Cao Jian, although Cao Jian was the hottest rookie this season, compared to the champion Lang, Cao Jian directed a story of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan with his personal experience.

His fame is even hotter than that of the 'pride of the sky' James, and there is no shortage of wonderful performances in this season, touching God's moment of 35 seconds and 13 minutes, a slap that can't be counted, several times scoring 40+ and even some games still have 50 points.

Basically, Casal still doesn't have much of an impression of this rookie, and he even thinks it's a hype by the league to promote a rookie.

After all, since the retirement of the gang leader, the attention of the league has also fallen to an all-time low, which is also an indisputable fact.

For the sake of the development of the league, it is normal for the NBA to make such a move.

In fact, there is another reason why Casal sees it this way.

That is, Cao Jian is a yellow person, and in his impression, he never thinks that yellow people can play basketball well.

Basketball is a black sport, and it's hard for yellow people to gain a foothold here.

He didn't think Cao Jian could do it.

Cao Jian couldn't do it.

From the subconscious, he still looks down on Cao Jian, so he will have a provocation against Cao Jian in front.

However, as the game progressed, his deep-seated concept also changed dramatically.

It is true that Cao Jian is a yellow race, but he has completely dismantled Cassar's prejudice with repeated attacks.

After the first two quarters of the game, he also realized that Cao Jian's strength was not blown out, with his current ability, he could enter the top three in the league, and it was not impossible for him to become the strongest point guard in the league if he was given time.

After all, he was still young.

With such a young age and such talent, Casal began to complain about God's injustice, just like Bouzer.

This is somewhat similar to Boozer's previous face against Garnett.

However, what Casal didn't know was that behind this brilliance, it was Cao Jian who sweated like rain in the copy day and night, and Cao Jian was away from home alone, and how much saliva and suspicion had accumulated.

Successful peopleMany people just see his success and often ignore a lot of things behind it.

After Casal recognized this fact, he was more attentive to defending Cao Jian.

However, the more Casal cared for it, the more uncomfortable he became.

When he found out that Cao Jian was not his heart, if he worked hard, he could defend it.

He didn't care, he didn't work hard, he still had an excuse, but if he tried hard and let it go, he couldn't succeed, and Casal didn't have any excuses.

Frustrate.

Broken.

Lose.

Casal looked down on Cao Jian before and despised Cao Jian. I didn't care about Cao Jian at all, and now there is only one thought left, that is, how to avoid being hit by Cao Jian.

The game continues.

Garnett continued without a solution.

Cao Jian continued without a solution.

The game is still scorching.

Cao Jian is finished. Garnett followed up.

Garnett finished the matter, and Cao Jian followed up.

The two sides come and go.

It was a good game.

Whether it is the role player play, or the main player core player play, tactical layout and so on.

In the third quarter, the two sides were tied again.

The game change occurred in the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers came off the bench.

Substitutions have always been the Knights' lifeline.

No matter how good the Cavaliers' main performance is, whether the Cavaliers can win depends on the play of the bench, and if the bench does not play, then the Cavaliers want to win. It's very difficult.

After Cao Jian and the other main forces went down to rest, it was only 1 minute.

It's always been a tie, but. This time, it was beaten 6-0, and the Cavaliers trailed by 6 points, which was also the largest margin of the Cavaliers in the entire second half.

Seeing that it didn't work, the knight also hurriedly asked for a timeout.

Take advantage of this pause. All the main players of the Cavaliers also returned to the field.

And just after all the main forces of the knights came up. On the Timberwolves side, all the main forces are coming up.

This is enough to see that the Timberwolves attach importance to the Cavaliers.

And it is precisely because of the Timberwolves' adjustment that the Cavaliers also lost to immediately tie the analogy.

It is not difficult to predict that after that, the two sides will once again start a scorching war and a tug-of-war.

Cao Jian assists James, James breaks through, this time Garnett is pulled to the right wing, and James has to make a layup.

After James. Casal also assisted Garnett's mid-range shot.

The knight's side is still Cao Jian.

Cao Jian didn't have the right opportunity outside the three-point line to pierce the Timberwolves defense. But there was no chance.

The Timberwolves also know that the Cavaliers' offensive focus is also on Cao Jian, so his defense has also reached the superstar level.

This time, the Timberwolves' defense was extremely successful in the first half, successfully limiting Cao Jian to 22 seconds, which was also in the Timberwolves

thought that their defense was about to succeed, and at this time, Cao Jian delivered the most exquisite assist of the game.

Most of the Timberwolves' defensive attention was on Cao Jian, Cao Jian attracted most people's attention, just when everyone thought that Cao Jian was out of line, Cao Jian threw the ball directly, but the basketball came to the hands of Eric, who was empty outside the three-point line.

Eric catches the ball, pulls it up directly, and shoots a three-pointer.

Hand up and knife down.

The ball goes in.

Seeing that the Cavaliers were chasing the score, but at this time, Garnett, who was single under the basket, beat Boozer and got the opportunity to andone.

The game is once again in the scorching heat.

The two sides go back and forth, and the scores of both sides are also soaring, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that the score difference between the two sides has always remained at 6 points.

And chasing these 6 points, the Cavaliers also spent almost the entire fourth quarter, and they couldn't complete it.

Until 1:06 left until the end of the race, the six-point difference still existed.

This is one of those points.

There is also a very bad message for the knights.

The Cavaliers had a chance to tie the score, but the Cavaliers didn't take it.

James cut in the air, Cao Jianqiu immediately passed, Cao Jian passed the ball without any problem, James received the ball without any problem, James received the ball and started directly and went straight to the basket.

James' breakthrough is also extremely ferocious, the problem is that his breakthrough is too violent, his body can't be controlled, and he is directly made an offensive foul by the opponent.

This offensive foul that James was made was fatal for the Cavaliers.

With a little over one point left before the end of the game and six points left, this is a great opportunity for the Cavaliers to chase points.

66 seconds, full of time, less than three attacks, the Cavaliers still have 6 points, this time the ball Cavaliers wasted and don't know if the Cavaliers still have a chance.

Just when the Cavaliers didn't make it this wave of offense, Paul. Silas also asked for a timeout.

The Cavaliers paused, before this wave of offense, the morale of the Cavaliers fans was still high, but, after this wave of offense, they also began to be silent, compared to just now, the Quick Loan Arena was a little quiet, to be precise, the atmosphere of the arena was a little dull, many Cavaliers fans frowned, and kept brushing their chicken-like hair with their fingers, and their eyes were dull.

Many people are still in a state of thinking.

After scorching the whole game, the Cavaliers saw the hope of winning, but after this wave of offense failed, the Cavaliers' hope of winning also became slim.

There are still 66 seconds left in the score, the three waves of offensive time are not enough, the Cavaliers are still 6 points away, and the Cavaliers have no possession of the ball, how should this game be played?

It's not going to be able to fight at all.

It's not that Cavaliers fans haven't expected a miracle, but if a miracle happens every game, it's not a miracle.

For the Cavaliers, perhaps it is really like Cavaliers coach Paul. Silas said, "Don't think too much, the game is not over, we haven't lost yet, for us, to win, then do a good job of this wave of defense, defense!" Defend! Defend! ”

"Defend! Defend! Defend! We have a chance to defend against this wave of attacks. ”

Paul. Silas is right, for the Cavaliers to win, the most important thing right now is defense.

Defending against the Timberwolves is the most important thing.

And defense, too, is focused.

At critical moments, it is self-evident where the Timberwolves' defense is focused.

The focus, of course, is Garnett.

Throughout the game, Garnett let the Timberwolves win the game, and he was also full of firepower in this game, he scored 43 points in the whole game, and he was in good shape.

Therefore, Paul. Silas also circled Garnett's name on the tactical board, "Kevin is our defensive focus, they will definitely give the ball to Kevin, they won't ...... except Kevin"

Paul. The idea of Silas is also the idea of the masses.

Garnett is the Timberwolves star and the best player in the game, and the Timberwolves don't pass him the ball at a critical moment, is it possible?

Obviously, this is not possible.

However, Cao Jian still felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

This feeling is real, and he vaguely feels that something is wrong.

However, no, I don't know where it is.

Cao Jian's feeling is not for nothing.

On the Timberwolves' side, the Timberwolves' tactical arrangement is the same as that of Paul. Silas's imagination was much worse.

Garnett is a big part of that, yes, but not the heart of the offense.

Pause back.

The game continues.

Players from both sides are also back on the field.

The tactics have been laid out.

However, Cao Jian still felt unstable and always felt very suspenseful, so he also took a special look at the Timberwolves bench.

found that on the Timberwolves' side, Garnett was also surrounded by everyone, and Casal, who was with him, was still talking in his ear, Cao Jian didn't know lip language, so naturally it was impossible to find out what they were talking about?

However, seeing these two people, the uneasiness in his heart was also even stronger.

This feeling has no reason, but it is real.

(It's the middle of the month.) Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. Ask for collections. Ask for recommendations. (To be continued......)
